Definitions
- This invention relates to an apparatus for feeding rod-shaped articles in a packaging machine.
- this invention addresses the tobacco industry and has for an object an apparatus for feeding articles consisting, for example, of cigarettes, filters, filter tubes (tubes of paper with a filter at one end and designed to be filled with tobacco by the smoker) in a machine which packs these articles in packets or boxes.
- groups of cigarettes to be packed are usually formed using a vertical hopper into which the cigarettes are fed through an opening at the top of it.
- the bottom portion of the hopper is divided into a plurality of mouths arranged side by side horizontally and each divided by a plurality of walls into substantially vertical channels arranged side by side horizontally.
- Each of the channels is designed to receive into it a stack of cigarettes superposed on each other.
- Groups of cigarettes, or layers which are then placed on top of one another to form the groups are extracted by suitable extractor elements in succession from the bottom of each hopper mouth and directed to a packing station.
- a substantially cylindrical roller or rod which oscillates in both directions about an axis parallel to the axes of the cigarettes, thereby shaking the cigarettes lightly so they move down more easily.
- the invention accordingly provides an apparatus for feeding rod-shaped articles in a packaging machine, as described in the appended claims.
- the numeral 1 in Figure 1 denotes in its entirety an apparatus for feeding rod-shaped articles, consisting for example of cigarettes 2, forming part of a packing machine not illustrated.
- the apparatus 1 comprises a hopper 3 whose lower portion is equipped with at least one mouth 4 for dispensing cigarettes 2 and preferably subdivided into a plurality of mouths 4 positioned side by side horizontally.
- Each mouth 4 is subdivided by a plurality of walls 5 substantially vertical and parallel to each other in a plurality of substantially vertical channels 6 positioned side by side horizontally, each of which is designed to accommodate internally a stack 7 of cigarettes 2 reciprocally superposed;
- Groups (not illustrated) of cigarettes 2, or layers (not illustrated) which are then placed on top of one another to form the groups in known manner, are extracted in succession from the bottom ends of the channels 6, at the bottom portion of each mouth 4 of the hopper 3, by suitable extractor elements not illustrated, which place the groups in containers 8 carried by a belt conveyor 9 which directs the groups to a packing station of essentially known type schematically represented as a block 10.
- a substantially cylindrical roller or rod 12 which oscillates in both directions about an axis 13 parallel to the axes of the cigarettes 2 under the action of motor means not illustrated, thereby shaking the cigarettes 2 lightly so they enter the channels 6 more easily.
- each roller 12 is laterally offset in a horizontal direction relative to the upper edge 11 of the vertical wall 5 below and adjacent to it.
- the substantially cylindrical lateral surface of each roller 12 is positioned so it is substantially tangential to a vertical plane in which one of the lateral surfaces 14 of the wall 5 adjacent and below it lies.
- the walls 5 related to each mouth 4 of the hopper 3 are not equal in height and, more precisely, they decrease in height starting from the central walls 5 towards both sides of the mouth 4 itself.
- the rollers 12 of each mouth 4 are arranged in such a way as to reflect the arrangement of the upper edges 11 of the walls 5 positioned side by side, since each of them is located just above one of the edges 11 and their axes 13 perpendicularly intersect a vertical plane perpendicular to the axes of the cigarettes 2, according to an arrangement located on the sides of an isosceles trapezium 15 whose large base is horizontal and located at the bottom.
- these sides are inclined relative to the large base of the trapezium 15 at an angle ⁇ whose size is between 25° and 85°, the size considered ideal for this angle being 58°.
- the rollers 12 above the upper edges 11 of the walls 5 situated on the left of the centre line of the selfsame mouth 4 are offset towards the left, away from the centre line, by a predetermined length in a horizontal direction relative to the upper edges 11 of the vertical walls 5 respectively below and adjacent to them, whilst the rollers 12 above the upper edges 11 of the walls 5 situated on the right of the centre line of the mouth 4 are similarly offset towards the right in a horizontal direction relative to the upper edges 11 of the vertical walls 5 respectively below and adjacent to them.
- the width P of the passage defined between two adjacent rollers 12 above the walls 5 of each channel 6 may be just slightly greater than the diameter of a cigarette 2, and the cigarettes 2 can access the channels 6 between each pair of rollers 12. Thanks to the geometry described, the cigarettes 2 enter the channels 6 (except for the central channel 6 of each mouth 4) by moving along a short stretch, which is inclined to the vertical, as they pass between the pair of rollers 12 located just above the edges 11 of the two walls 5 which laterally delimit each channel 6.
- each pair of reciprocally adjacent rollers 12 is such that the lateral size of each mouth 4 of the hopper 3, viewed from above, is appreciably smaller than that of prior art hoppers, since the spacing between the channels 6 of each pair of adjacent channels 6 is appreciably smaller than the diameter of a cigarette 2 added to the diameter of a roller 12.
- the walls 5 related to each mouth 4 of the hopper 3 might be decreasing in height starting from one side of the mouth 4 itself.
- the axes 13 of the rollers 12 related to each mouth 4 would perpendicularly intersect a vertical plane perpendicular to the axes of the cigarettes 2, according to an arrangement located on a downwardly inclined straight line.
